You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

That's very interesting. But do you always have to buy Blu-ray just to get digital copies? I wonder if there is other options to actually own the movies without the licensing bullshit.

So far I don't know of any services that will just hand you a digital file of a movie outside of physical media.

I say that's a damn fine business opportunity, because I'd be all over it, but hey.
